I'll be at VIR if anyone wants to ride in it and check it out.

Awesome! I'm glad you're liking the setup.

Well I got the LCA brackets welded on today. They said that all of the jam nuts on the LCAs had come loose. I'll have to keep an eye on those.

Hard to say if they made much difference in how the car hooks up. It still spins pretty easily, but that may be because of the much stiffer springs or the cold temps.

I'm sure the cold isn't helping.

I'm sure those tires are helping either.

Yep. These tires aren't the best. I think I'll just deal with it until spring and get something better.

Jam nuts on the passenger side LCA loosened again and allowed the LCA to lengthen slightly. The rear tire is ~1/2" farther back in the wheel well on the passenger side. Gonna pull them and reset them to match the stockers tomorrow and use loctite this time.

For anyone with adjustable LCAs, keep an eye on those jam nuts.
